Because bipolar is so predictable and black and white (nope), when I say I’m in a funk, it doesn’t mean I’m sad. Just unmotivated and have zero interest in things. It’s more of a numb thing. Nothing matters. BUT I’m perfectly fine otherwise. I laugh and smile and joke and I am a stupid positive […]

That’s the scariest thing of this disease. When I make plans, I have no idea who is going to be around (which me, tired me, manic me, unable to function me, normal me, etc.) when it’s time to follow through on those plans. The worst is going to bed, knowing and planning to follow through […]

As much as I have loved Debbie Reynolds most of my life, I never got into Carrie Fisher that much, outside of the whole Star Wars thing. After reading this and the past year or so of mental health advocacy that I have seen from her (pre and post death), I love her so very […]

Was in bed till 1130am. Got up (and took every once of being to force myself to even get dressed) to go to do errand and lunch. Forgot errand, did lunch, now back in bed. Bipolar is fun.

Sometimes the lows are just so overwhelming and I can’t believe that when I’m not there that I don’t think they’re that low. It’s like a building is sitting on my chest. #bipolar

As someone who has bipolar, I try to stay ahead of things and tend to over analyze every thought, reaction, and action. My biggest fear is finding myself in full on mania and not realize it (like 2013-2016, and I didn’t even have a clue and almost lost my family). One of the tactics is […]
